How many yards are there in 2.5 miles?

a negative exponent is translated as follows:

so, we have

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:

8(1/6)

step-by-step explain:

49/6= 48

8 (1/6)
